Art. 77 OSR · Pedestrian Crossings

Pedestrian crossings are marked by a series of yellow stripes, or white stripes in the case of pavements, parallel to the edge of the roadway (6.17).

Before pedestrian crossings, a line prohibiting stopping (yellow, continuous; 6.18), at least 10 meters in length, will be marked parallel to the right edge of the roadway, at a distance of 50 to 100 cm; it prohibits voluntary stopping on the roadway and on the adjacent sidewalk. On one-way streets, the line prohibiting stopping will be drawn on both the right and left edges of the roadway. It will not be drawn on the surface of intersections, near bicycle lanes, or in parking and stopping bays preceding a pedestrian crossing.

Longitudinal pedestrian stripes (Art. 41, para. 3, OCR) will be outlined on the roadway by continuous yellow lines; the surface of these stripes will be streaked with oblique lines (6.19).
